KJ Motorsports Update #23 Race #42 & #43

8/10/14

Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway where 26 cars signed in. We set 2nd fast time, which put us on the pole of heat #2 beside Roy Roush. Roy got the lead with the outside line and we wound up finishing 2nd to start us 6th in the feature. I really did think we still had a good enough car to compete for the win. We passed our way to 3rd, only to lose some ground and were passed by Tanner Wilson. I was just hanging on at the end and was able to get 4th. Found that our right rear tire had given up on us. Track got kind of dusty and gritty and tore our tire up.

Saturday we went to Ohio Valley Speedway where there were 32 modifieds. We struggled in qualifying and wound up 10th fastest. Made a change to try and improve it for the heat. Got a bad start and fell to 5th pretty quick, but fought our way back to a 2nd place finish to start us 6th in the feature. We wound up finishing yet another 4th. Im not sure what we have lost, but we have lost something in our car. We plan to go thru it this week front to back and top to bottom and see if we can find something out of whack. I do intend to make some drastic set up changes this week and see if we can get back to some wins.

This week I want to give a shout out to Tim, Chad and Danny for their dedicated effort and support. They put in all kinds of work and when I don’t win I feel like I let them down. I know I can’t win them all, but when I am not even competing for the win it aggravates me a little. . . LOL!

This weekend we will be going to Legendary Hilltop Speedway & Skyline Speedway. So we hope to see you there!
